maps - gaz brookfield lyrics lyrics

[chorus]
oh they show me where i’m going, they show me where i’ve been
they show me possibilities of places i’ve not seen
sometimes they’re difficult to read and they’re always so hard to fold
sometimes they’ll lead you nowhere, sometimes to buried gold

[verse 1]
some folk like reading novels full of character and plot
some are unputdownable, others easily forgot
some read whilе commuting, others while in bed
but i can’t gеt on board with them, coz i like maps instead

[verse 2]
some men read the paper to stay well in the know
broadsheets over breakfast, or tabloids on the go
they may know more of politics, or world affairs, perhaps
but i like the way the way the world looks when i look at it in maps

[verse 3]
some people read poetry, those learned men of verse
but there’s no quantity of books can quench their literary thirst
they’ll perfectly articulate the world’s rise and collapse
but this old part time cartographile will make do with his maps

[verse 4]
o.s. are my favourite, the explorer is the best
coz they’re got way more detail in than any of the rest
and i know it’s strange for maps to hold such personal appeal
oh the storied are not up to much but the places seem so real
[chorus]
yeah they show me where i’m going, they show me where i’ve been
they show me possibilities of places i’ve not seen
sometimes they’re difficult to read and they’re always so hard to fold
sometimes they’ll lead you nowhere, sometimes to buried gold
